Int'l TA350 Starter Question - Help please

Have a '57 TA350 gas tractor. While running, I heard a funny noise in the starter area. I quickly killed the engine. Upon trying to restart the engine, the battery cable got very hot. I removed the starter and checked it with booster cables to see if it was shorted. It turns ok. My question: Is the bendix spring loaded to pull the teeth back out of the flywheel after the engine starts or does centrifugal force do it? It is a Delco-Remy starter. I would really appreciate if anyone had a parts breakdown of the starter I could get to take it apart for troubleshooting. Thank you for any response.

I took the starter apart. There appears to be nothing to throw the gear back out of the flywheel other than the flywheel gear teeth when the starter stops turning. A simple setup really. I found my problem: the ignition switch shorted out, engaging the starter while the engine was running. Thanks for the replys. This is a great forum.

Hi, I believe the spring is to return the starter
gear. We had 300U which is same starter and it had a nasty habit of locking on the ring gear and continuing to spin the starter. If this happen, just loosen the mounting bolts and rock the starter motor a little and it would release.

Starter probably stayed engaged. I think a spring pushes the drive away from the ring gear. The starter on my 350 is bad about locking, I just loosen the mounting bolts and it will come loose.

On the two above posts: I was reading a NAPA publication from '94 about GM starters jamming in the flywheel. I believe he solution was to have about .030-.060 clearance by placing a .010-.015 shim on one of the verticle bolts. This brings the starter gear away from the flywheel. Not being familiar with my own 350U yet, shims in the right place may solve the problem. I don't have the article at hand, but if you want me to double check clearances and procedures, e-mail me.
